Thing 12

Thing 12- Del.icio.us

This site, although mentioned in other LIS classes, has not made its way onto my commonly used websites list- probably because of my great unfamiliarity with it.  I certainly see the potential in a site like this and it can be useful in many areas and aspects of discovering new sites bookmarked by people with similar interests.  I personally found the whole site a bit confusing, however.  The 8 minute Del.icio.us tutorial would have been a huge help if the link worked.  Also, I found that a few of the bookmarks on the PLCMCL2 website did not work either.  The idea is really interesting and I could locate other people's bookmarks to a certain topic or established bookmark.  With a little more research on how to navigate through I am sure I'd be able to figure it out.  This tool is helpful in that it is a place other than google that someone can look to direct questions to a different resource.  Info lit and library professionals have an option of where to research.
